So I was able to sneak in one more “fall” shoot this past weekend. It was still a bit chilly but I am so glad that we decided to get outside. This is the fourth year that I have worked with this family. I LOVE watching the children grow. These girls are always a pleasure to work with – they are so sweet. The little one is usually quite shy but was full of stories this time and grabbed my hand as we were walking to our location. The eldest daughter has now lost some teeth and was so proud to show me! A & R thank you for your patronage.

Here is another one of my Watch Me Grow babies! This little guy is now 4 months old and cute as can be! I love how they are intrigued by their hands, feet and dad’s laugh. It is such a fun age to work with. He has been dealing with some health issues so hopefully he will continue to be a little fighter! R & R more soon!

I figured I better put one more up today while I have some blogging momentum. I have been wanting to blog about this family for awhile but I also wanted to make sure that we got some outside shots before we did. We had decided to do a combo session with studio and location “fall” shots. Well, Mother Nature has had a whole different idea of fall here in Calgary. The evening of their initial session was chilly so we rescheduled that portion and finally got out this past weekend. It was still chilly and there was snow on the ground but the light felt warmer!

I do have to mention that this mom is the owner of Twisted Goods in Market Mall – as you know, I like help promote other mom entrepreneurs:). It is such an awesome store with items for you, your house or a really cool gift! The funny thing is that she and I met once years ago when we were both flying to Saskatoon with our 3 month olds…small world!

Love the feel of these pictures…you can just tell how close they are and how much fun they have together!

Fall has been a bit short in Calgary this year with the weather being all over the place…thank goodness we decided to move this session up a week to make sure that we captured the fall colours. At the time my thinking was to avoid a big wind storm that would take all the leaves…little did I know we were going to end up with snow! Hopefully it will not last long and we can squeeze in a bit more fall.

This family is a ton of fun. I have had the opportunity to shoot them a few times. We had not done an outdoor session yet and I am glad that we had the chance this year. It was a great way to capture this active family and include their lab. Thank you for the bushwhacking adventure guys!

I have had the pleasure of shooting this family through many, many milestones! This is one of my girlfriends and her children…I have watched her almost 7 year old from the time she was a baby. I was still shooting film when E was born and I was just doing photography as a hobby. It is amazing how quickly everything changes. E is now almost 7 and is just getting adult teeth, her sister A is just loosing her first teeth and their younger brother, E, is just turning 2 (and to continue the teeth theme…probably working on some molars).

I do apologize that I am so far behind with everything…that is all changing this week. More sneak peeks to come!

You will notice that A’s tooth loss was recent as she is still sticking her tongue through her teeth as she shows me her highland fling.

Big smooch for mom!

We could not miss the opportunity to get outside and take a few with the leaves! Glad we did not as they have been flying off the trees this week!

A little Hannah Montana…still not something I am very familiar with…it is still all about cars in our house.
